Teaching Music Through Performance in Jazz

Teaching Music through Performance in Jazz is a significant new resource containing valuable information for the most experienced to novice music educator. Utilizing this text as a basis for coursework, participants will engage discussions of music/jazz theory and history as well as analyze and rehearse jazz band arrangements (please bring your instrument). Through discussion, lecture and involvement, participants will discover learning and teaching opportunities that exist when creating lesson plans for individual jazz band programs.

Guest speakers will include Vaughn Wiester, Columbus-based trombonist, arranger and leader of the Famous Jazz Orchestra.

Students registering for graduate level CEU credit will be required to submit a lesson plan based on the coursework, due by Monday, July 7, 2008. The lesson plan content and format will be discussed more fully the first day of class.

Undergraduate level credit (1 semester hour) is available through Capital University at an additional cost of $50. Please make a separate check payable to Capital University and bring it with you the morning of June 23.
